Hobby enthusiasts collect such things as saw blades, and wooden eggs which have had artwork painted on. There are some people even collect designer rugs and then use them as an art. Another art collectible hobby is collecting limited edition plates, thimbles, Christmas ornaments, and figurines produced by such companies as Bradford Exchange. And of course, many people collect fine art paintings.

The person with an art collectible hobby will probably find his or her own favorite artists whose works they really appreciate. Therfore, they can choose to focus on one particular artist, either past or present, or they can choose from the works of many artists. On the other hand, they may collect art and art objects around a theme they like to enjoy, such as cigars, wild animals, or piano music.

Some may think of that an art collector as a rich person who has the money to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on an original Van Gogh. For a person of more modest means can collect art too, however. Post cards are a good place to start. Most art museum gift shops offer high quality, glossy postcards printed with some of their more notable acquisitions. By buying those cards one really appreciates, anyone can have an art collection.
